Mr. Speaker. I rise today in honor of the 250th birthday of Collin McKinney. a Texas patriot. statesman. and hero. Mr. McKinney was a drafter and signer of the Texas Constitution and is the namesake of Collin County and the city of McKinney. His courage of conviction and love of Texas fundamentally shaped our states history and our nation. Mr. McKinney was born to Scottish immigrant parents on April 17. 1766. in New Jersey. Years later he moved to Kentucky before settling in our great state of Texas. Mr. McKinney was a man of faith and boldly preached the gospel message of love and redemption.
